Putting FD lenses on a D60

[Peter] sent in this really slick project where he ads an FD lens mount to a cannon EOS D60. He already had a collection of nice lenses and didn’t want to waste them. After finding some a donor camera for the FD mount, he purchased a cheap D60 to graft it onto. While his first impulse was to simply glue the new mount onto the front of the camera, it was evident that this would hold the lenses too far from the sensor. The camera went under a bit for a while and luckily, no real damage was done to the mirror housing. The final result seems to work very well, there are example galleries available on his site.
canon, not cannon. somehow i think this isn’t the first time its been typo’d. otherwise it’s a nice project. i use fd lenses with a converter on my d30 but it makes infinity focus impossible.
